Moo by Sharon Creech
Hi,
Sharon Creech! Welcome to Watch. Connect. Read. I'm so excited and honored you dropped by to finish my
sentences and celebrate Moo. It is a MOO-velous book! (Sorry! I couldn’t
resist.)
Thank
you, Mr. Schu, for Moo’s warm
welcome!

Reena
and Luke share some attributes with
my grandchildren. Like Reena, our
granddaughter took on a feisty cow and learned her way around the show ring,
and like Luke, our grandson draws cool, imaginative figures.
Moo takes place in a coastal Maine
town where ‘the mountains meet the sea,’ and which resembles Camden, Maine.

I
think Zora is a lot like her owner, Mrs. Falala: stubborn and ornery, but at heart kind and
lonely.
Moo was inspired by ‘real life’.
Four years ago our daughter, son-in-law and their two children (my
grandchildren) moved to Maine, where my granddaughter joined a 4-H program at a
local farm and introduced us all to the charms—and sometimes stubbornness–of
cows.
School
libraries are the magical, beating hearts of schools.
Reading
is the golden key that opens infinite doors.
Mr. Schu, you should have asked me what I am working
on now, but I can’t tell you, for secret reasons.*
*That’s what E.B.White said one time when declining
an invitation, and I use it a lot.
